1. An exhaust gas recirculation control system for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- an exhaust gas recirculation control valve for controlling the amount of exhaust gas recirculated back from an intake system of the engine to an intake system of the engine when opened, in accordance with operating condition of the vehicle; and
means for fully opening said exhaust gas recirculation control valve for a predetermined period of time when the operating condition of the vehicle reaches a predetermined level.

Abstract
An exhaust gas recirculation control system for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, comprising an exhaust gas recirculation control valve for controlling exhaust gas recirculated back to the engine when opened, and means for fully opening the exhaust gas recirculation control valve for a predetermined period of time when operating condition of the vehicle reaches a predetermined level, thereby preventing exhaust gas recirculation from performing with a delayed time relative to a required timing.

5. An exhaust gas recirculation control system for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
an exhaust gas recirculation control valve for controlling communication between an intake air and exhaust gas passageway of the engine so as to control exhaust gas recirculation, exhaust gas recirculation in a predetermined value being performed at a predetermined opening degree of said exhaust gas recirculation control valve; a constant-vacuum valve for preparing a constant vacuum to be supplied to said exhaust gas recirculation control valve; a pulse-operated electromagnetic valve for modifying the constant vacuum to be supplied to said exhaust gas recirculation control valve so as to obtain said predetermined opening degree of said exhaust gas recirculation control valve when receiving a predetermined command signal; a control unit for producing said command signal in response to a vehicle speed signal indicating that a vehicle speed exceeds a predetermined level and a throttle position signal indicating that a throttle valve opening degree exceeds a predetermined level; and means for so controlling, for a predetermined period of time, said pulse-operated electromagnetic valve that said constant-vacuum from said constant-vacuum valve is directly supplied to said exhaust gas recirculation control valve so as to be fully opened immediately before production of said command signal, when the vehicle speed and throttle valve opening degree exceed said predetermined levels, respectively.

7. A method for controlling exhaust gas recirculation for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
controlling exhaust gas recirculation from an intake system of the engine to an exhaust system of the engine by varying the opening degree of the exhaust gas recirculation control valve; and fully opening said exhaust gas recirculation control valve for a predetermined period of time when operating condition of the vehicle reaches a predetermined level. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
